Another excellent article from this site. I've been looking forward to new X-Files for a while.

I was mildly interested in this reboot before, but this casting makes me want to watch it even more.

I've been working on this since May 11 🤣 but I finally finished and was able to get it down to a reasonable read. I got a little excited with the casting of Tantoo Cardinal, Devery Jacobs and Joel D. Montgrand in The X-Files Reboot. redpopnews.com/i-want-to-be...

The original X-Files built its mythology on Native stories: Diné language, prophecy-keeping elders, folklore borrowed with no Indigenous voices in the room. Coogler's reboot casts Jacobs, Cardinal, and Montgrand which suggests a shift in that dynamic. redpopnews.com/i-want-to-be... #TheXfiles
